I thought that would happen but I was puckering anyway that shit gave me anxiety. I was like "wait just bare road and a helmet? What if something goes wrong?"

Bare road and a helmet, if something goes wrong you've got yourself a controlled environment similar to a motorcycle riding experience without the danger of the weight of a motorcycle landing on you I guess. No cars behind you to run you over. Safe, not exactly.. but definitely a thrill seeking experience

Thats a good take on it. Its not explictly clear what gear he has on under the red jacket, but it looks like it might be a motercycle suit. These are full body and tend to be armored with kevlar and other material in order to blunt abrasion/collision damage.

With one of those suits, what looks like a good helmet and no bike to roll on top of you, you would likely survive a 30-60 mph "crash" off the end of the truck mostly unscathed.
